If you find the update process difficult or simply forget to keep track of the new releases, our automatic WordPress software and plugin updates are for you. You can also schedule how fast your site is updated after a new version is released or even skip a version if you need more time to prepare for the update.

WordPress SuperCacher

By default we enable static caching for all sites (SuperCacher level 1), which means that certain items, like your images for example, will load faster from the memory of the server. However, the biggest impact on the WordPress loading speed is achieved by using the higher levels of our SuperCacher service and connecting your site with our NGINX-based dynamic cache and Memcached service through our SG Optimizer plugin (the option is available on our GrowBig and GoGeek plans).

Awesome Tools for WordPress Webmasters

Building and maintaining a WordPress site is easy with our thoughtfully designed tools

Free CDN

Free let’s encrypt ssl

Having an SSL is more than just a best practice for websites, it’s an industry standard. SSL certificates protect the data transmitted through your site and make sure you meet the requirements of search engines that flag unsecured sites. That is why we believe any client of ours should have an SSL installed on their website. To help you do that, we partnered and financially supported since its founding the Let’s Encrypt project, which offers free SSL for anyone. We developed an in-house integration with Let’s Encrypt that allows us to automatically issue and renew their certificates for a hassle-free user experience. All new sites hosted on our platform get the free Standard SSL enabled. Clients may switch to a free Wildcard SSL at any time from their control panel.

The restores are free on GrowBig and GoGeek plans and cost only $19.95 one-time fee on the StartUp plan.

One-click Staging Tool

Many of our customers maintain dynamic sites that require updates and changes as their businesses grow. However, big changes can be risky and it’s a good practice to test any major change in a safe environment that won’t affect your live site. We’ve developed a tool that creates a copy of your site, allows you to work on the testing site, and then push the changes to your live site with confidence, in one click! Just to be on the safe side, we also perform automatic backups each time you upload a staging version to production. The tool is available on GoGeek plan.

The CDN network has 152 locations and growing so your page will be loaded from the one closest to your visitor!
